The big issue with biologicals is "Are They Alive"? Great question given everyone's experience with living organisms. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't. Well the fact of the matter is they do work, if they are viable when they are used. Let face it, organisms that have been around hundreds of millions of years are absolutely predictable when placed into their logical and normal environment. The problem is getting a viable organism to start with. That's where Eco-Rize™, LLC and its EcoVam™ inoculums make "a difference you can see". We have assembled a world-class team of experts composed of people that are considered tops in their fields. We are all about quality. We always have been and always will be. Quality that you can measure produces differences you can see.

EcoRize™ Executive Summary
Dr. Joseph B. Morton	Senior Technical Advisor & Scientist
	Dr. Morton is a Professor, Division of Plant and Soil Sciences, West Virginia University. He is a world authority on mycorrhizal associations between host, soil, and plant factors and is curator of the International Culture Collection of Vesicular-arbuscular (INVAM) which presently consists of over 1,200 isolates. Dr. Morton collaborates with scientists worldwide to examine patterns of fungal diversity at molecular, organismal, and ecological scales. These projects include the study of comparative development of mycorrhiza and spore differentiation, the role of hyphal glycoproteins in nutrient interactions and soil aggregation, and population level studies isolating native fungi from various sites and determining the proportion of species which are effective growth promoters of assay hosts. Commercially Dr. Morton’s projects screen and produce inoculum of specific fungal isolates for commercial application to promote growth and survival of transplantable plant species in field settings where soils have been disturbed or removed.
Dr. Bachar Blal	Director Research & Development

INFORMATION

The beneficial fungi contained in this product greatly expand the surface area of roots thereby increasing significantly the ability of the plant to use water, nutrients and become more adapted to “real world” conditions found in the production of plants. Mycorrhizal roots protect the plant from many predators and establish conditions for strong, healthy plants. Use EcoVam™ VAM by tilling into the ground, banding with seed and fertilizers, in conjunction with rooting gels, hydromulching, root injection, potting soil amendment, and numerous other techniques that place the product into physical contact with the roots of plants.

APPLICATIONS

Broadcast: For seeding, sodding, sprigging, and hydromulching, 40-60 pounds per acre.
Seed Drill: Incorporate when planting seed at a rate of 4-5 pounds per acre.
